I noticed that apps do not get suspended when they are not selected, as they do on the phone... this is great, and required for convergence, obviously. However, the Media Player does stop playing when it looses focus, it appears to pause playback, rather than get suspended depending on focus, so I think this is a flaw in the app, not the system.
